Student parents in California face unique challenges as they balance academics, work, and family responsibilities. Yet their identities, experiences, and needs are often overlooked due to gaps in data collection practices.
This report from The California Alliance for Student Parent Success leverages existing federal data to shed light on who student parents are—their demographics, academic experiences, financial situations, and the barriers they face in accessing quality education and completing their credentials. The report includes a data-driven overview, supported by facts and figures, to illustrate the intersectional challenges that impact the educational journeys of student parents.
